So many of us have fallen under the law of Sin and Death to muster up our flesh to obtain Gods favor. Luther reminds us of Paul’s gospel which is Gods. Only faith in Christ not works of the law bring us into favor with God. Delight in this; reject any other way for God has. Only through the Son are we favored by God and what freedom it is.

Martin Luther drives the reader to the heart of the struggle between the ego of man always insisting on credit and the surrender he must make to accept he has no part, other than childlike faith in Jesus Christ, in gaining acceptance with God. We receive by faith the righteousness God the Father in his mercy chooses to impute to us based on Jesus meeting the full requirements of a holy and just God in becoming sin for us on the Cross. This is an awesome book that teaches the core beliefs of true Christianity and helps you understand the basis for the Protestant Reformation.

All so-called Lutheran pastors in the franchise Lutheran churches should be locked in a room with this commentary.

Easy to read in today's English. Worth reading.
